Micucci, who played Lucy, the socially awkward woman who opted to break up with Raj rather than expand her comfort zone, will return to reprise her character in the eighth episode of the upcoming seventh season. Plot details on the episode, slated to air Nov. 14, are scarce but Lucy will bump into Penny (Kaley Cuoco) during the episode. It's unclear whether Raj, who in the sixth-season finale overcame his selective muteness after having his heart broken, will cross paths with his ex.

"I'm not sure it's a good thing that Raj can talk to women because he's going to put his foot in his mouth a lot," Nayyar told The Hollywood Reporter of Raj's newfound abilities.
